Eugene C. Pulliam Fellowship
Overview
The Eugene C. Pulliam Fellowship for Public Service Journalism is a program of the Society of Professional Journalists Foundation. Established in 1977 and funded by Nina Pulliam to honor her husband Eugene C. Pulliam, the fellowship supports mid-career journalists working in fact-based commentary or analysis. It enables them to take time away from daily responsibilities to pursue meaningful, in-depth reporting projects. The goal is to enhance public understanding through journalistic endeavors such as editorials, podcasts, investigative series, or books.
Reward
The fellowship offers up to $100,000 to help journalists enrich their knowledge of public interest issues through study, research, or travel. More than one fellow may be selected, and the award amount can be divided at the discretion of the judges. Recipients are expected to publish their project results and provide a written report on how the funds were used.
